Hi Dennis, Please see below. >> First I did: >> /-bash-4.1# cryptsetup --key-file keyfile-1 luksFormat /dev/loop0/ >... > >for me your example works but I have sha256, aes and cbc loaded (which is >required as you use aes as crypto-mode, sha256 as hash and cbc as block-mode >or what ever it is called). The setup is not proper as you see there is no key slot >used. [Li, David] Can you explain a little here why key slot wasn't used? Why did the luksDump or the blkid result seem to be normal? > >> Question #2. I went thru FAQ and didn't quite find an example using >> key-file to setup LUKS. But I found this line: >> >> /cryptsetup luksOpen //--//key//-//file keyfile /////dev/////loop0 e1/ >> >> what is e1 here?

After opening the mapping you can >access it under /dev/mapper/e1 (e.g. to create a file system). > >Greets, >Dennis _______________________________________________ dm-crypt mailing list dm-crypt@xxxxxxxx http://www.saout.de/mailman/listinfo/dm-crypt
